I look at the 104 women who withdrew/no showed for 21 party day, this should NOT go against Indiana's placement rate. Those women didn't show up for day 1.... They have no reason to be upset with placement rates, they did not show up...

The second column shows 182 women who did not meet academic requirements and were released. Again, this is by no fault of the Panhellenic at Indiana. Each organization has academic requirements, it is the PNM's job to meet these requirements.

That is 286 women who I don't believe should count negatively against Indiana's placement rate. If you take those original numbers out of this equation, Indiana would then actually have close to a 71% placement.

Then take a look at the withdrawls from 14, 8, and 3 party days (these are women who decided they did not like the remaining options OR that Greek life was not for them), that total is 272. Withdrawing happens everywhere, I have to ask myself what other campuses look like in terms of placement.

It is unfortunate for the 146 women that were released, I agree, but I don't think the placement rate is as bad as it first appears. 92% of the women who choose to stick through recruitment are placed into an organization.

Yep, I tried to kind of post that earlier but you did a much better job! I've been really critical of IU's system....but I think I need to dial it down a bit. Those 286 women you counted could have gotten bids or joined a potential new chapter...but would they?? Probably not.
